On April 19th, 2024…
We held our annual gala, From the Heart, at Edwards Lifesciences’ Irvine campus and raised a record-setting $112,000! With 115 guests in attendance, we celebrated the 42,000 students whose lives were impacted in 2023 through our hands-on STEAM programs—and looked ahead to inspiring the next generation of critical thinkers, innovators and leaders yet to come. It was a gratitude-filled evening spent inspiring the next generation of critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders yet to come.
With special emcee, KTLA’s Henry DiCarlo, we honored the Santa Ana Chamber President and CEO, Dave Elliott, as our “Creativity Champion”; the Sun Family Foundation, as our “STEAM Champion”; and the Boys & Girls Club Buena Park as our “Champion for Youth”.
A special thank you to our host Edwards Lifesciences.

We raised over $112,000!
But we couldn’t have done it alone - through the generosity of our supporters, sponsors, and especially volunteers, our impact can be that much greater.
Join us in making sure every child is ready to change the world.
